Municipality of Rotterdam
The municipality of Rotterdam has played a significant role in making the excellent location for our gas fired power plant Enecogen in the Rotterdam Europort area available.
Rotterdam is a young and dynamic city with a world-class port and a strong emphasis on the knowledge-intensive sectors of the economy. It’s a city of modern architecture, innovation, creativity, events, leisure and recreation. More than one million people from over 160 countries live in the Rotterdam region.
Its open economy and stable political and financial condition has made Rotterdam a business city without parallel. Rotterdam offers an attractive climate for both large and small businesses.

DCMR Milieudienst Rijnmond
The DCMR Milieudienst Rijnmond has granted the Enecogen project the environmental permit on 16 November 2006.
The DCMR Environmental Protection Agency is the regional environmental agency of the local and regional authorities operating in Rijnmond, the larger 'Port of Rotterdam'-area in the Netherlands.
The DCMR was founded in 1972 in order to improve environmental protection in the Rotterdam-Rijnmond region. This region is a heavily industrialised area with refineries, waste incinerators, sevaral waste dumping sites, many large chemical plants, metallurgy, food processing plants and about 19,500 smaller companies. The tasks of the DCMR include regulation of the industries, monitoring and assisting authorities on developing environmental policy.
The DCMR issues permits to virtually all of the 22,000 enterprises in the area and carries out more than 9,000 inspections to monitor compliance with the permit conditions. It supervises and monitors clean-up programmes to minimise the impact of soil pollution, waste disposal and noise.
The DCMR issues an annual environmental monitoring report for the Rotterdam region, together with other local and regional organisations. The project team compiles, analyses and assesses the information of the Rotterdam region. The information is categorised in three main chapters: quality of the environment, sources of pollution and improvement efforts. The DCMR puts a lot of attention into the continuous measurement of the environmental quality. The environmental monitoring assesses the success and failure of regional environmental policy. The DCMR supports the development and implementation of environmental policy in the city of Rotterdam.
The DCMR is involved in international projects in CEE countries and assists these countries in improving implementation of EU directives or national laws. These projects are often a co-operation of experts of the DCMR and related organisations in the Netherlands and other countries in the European Union.
DCMR participates in the project Rotterdam Climate Initiative
